Change Walmart, Change the Economy

If we can change Walmart, we can improve the lives of all working people.

As the largest U.S. employer, Walmart sets the standard not just for the retail and service industries, but for the economy as a whole. Walmart’s poor labor practices and standards put pressure on many other businesses to lower wages and benefits in order to compete. The result is a Walmart economy where our jobs, health care, and labor standards have all downgraded. But if we can change Walmart, we can improve the lives of all working people.

Jobs With Justice is a core partner driving a comprehensive and historic campaign to push Walmart to reform its business practices and ensure wholesale changes across the retail sector. In partnership with community groups, Walmart associates, workers along the supply chain, and the UFCW, we are making interventions through worker organizing, shareholder accountability, public education, and community mobilization.
